What is to become of the United Methodist Church? This is a question I have been grappling with for the last year or so. What is my role in a denomination in turmoil? What is the answer to a complicated divide over homosexuality? How will young adults like myself, raised, educated, and formed in the […]

Human Population: ~7.6 Billion We continue to study atoms and work like ants, cut grass, look at plants and landscape houses, small and big. We look at other humans, hate, but love wins. Speak and judge based on skin creed, ideas, faith coming to the conclusion that we are different, but uniquely great. A look […]

I have been thinking about the future a lot recently, particularly as I am constantly confronted with questions like, “what do you want to do?”, “how will you use this?” As a result, I regularly reflect on the person I am and the person I want to be.

I sat in my religious thinking of Howard Thurman class and someone asked is God good? Moreover, can God be good, when there is so much bad and because God is everything how can he be good. I wrestled with that for a while. I went to the idea, “God is good all the time, […]

At the first service of the semester, the Dean preached a sermon that I think will stick with me for the whole year, maybe longer. He told us to think about the people who remind us who we are at our best. I’ve never considered myself to be a leader, I’ve always been content to […]

“ You get a strange feeling when you’re about to leave a place. Like you’ll not only miss the people you love but you’ll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you’ll never be this way ever again” I spent the weekend in New York City at board meetings […]

I am a huge Chance the Rapper fan. The shift in focus Chance has had in his music since the birth of his daughter has connected to me in ways I could never had imagine. A few weeks ago Chance premiered a new song that I’ve finally got around to listening to. After listening to […]
